Methods Used in Analytical Chemistry
The methods used to determine the identity and the quantity of the analytes in the field of analytical chemistry can be broadly divided into classical and instrumental methods. 1. Classical Methods There exist many classical methods of checking for the presence or absence of a particular compound in a given analyte. One such example is…

The Macroscopic Scale
The macroscopic scale involves the substances that are large enough to be visible to the human eye (without the help of optical instruments to provide a magnified view). Some important quantities that are dealt with on the macroscopic scale include: Melting and boiling points The coefficient of linear thermal expansion Latent heat of vaporization Enthalpy…

Introduction
Physical chemistry is the branch of chemistry devoted to the study of the behavior of matter at an atomic or molecular level. It also involves the study of the properties of substances at different scales, from the macroscopic scale which includes particles that are visible to the naked eye, to the subatomic scale involving extremely…
